Show us your vintage half-belts

1930s horsehide two-tone halfbelt, cotton check liner. Provenance unknown. My guess is American.

Stunning! Absolutely cool! I blew a deal on a two tone Goatskin jacket. It was cool, but this is cold fine. Leather jackets of this Era have a flair. What size is it?

Yeah, it's a stunner. The size is in the 36-38 range with a relatively narrow waist, fits my 37"/30" frame perfectly. The back length excl. collar is 22.5", which explains the position of the halfbelt (in case Peter Bowden was wondering).

Yes indeed. Can you do a pic of the label? What does it say? You did well.

Killer jacket John!

Cheers fellas. Here's a label pic. My first Canadian HH

Excuse the non-representative colouring in these pics taken with a phone in poor electric light. I've reshaped the collar to my liking & added HH leather pulls to the main & chest pocket zips

A better proportionally accurate view of the back

That's a real sharp one. Featuring a deco talon main zip?

 

[John_Z]

Cheers Breton. Being Canadian it's fitted with Canadian made Lightening zips. No deco detailing although there is on the side clinch buckles.

I was watching that one on Ebay but had to pass on it because of the budget spent on a trip to London. The seller sold it but then it got relisted, it was quite weird. Maybe the first buyer didn't pay for it.

Congratulations! I'm quite jelaous.
